Class loader does not find class in WEB-INF/classes
Hi,
This message is a reply to those that asked me for uploading a simple
version of my webapp reproducing the problem of not finding classes when a
JSP is inside a subfolder, thus not hanging directly from web root
directly.
I have slimmed down the code as much as possible. You'll see is almost
nothing.
algorismes.zip
<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RUanXza2wjCBQimjum-LlbGNaYP6vs4O/view?usp=drive_web>
So, the project's became very simple, but the problem is there:
Built with NetBeans 8.0.2 on Windows 10
Tested on local host (so tomcat running on windows), it works
My VPS holds a public web domain called algosismes.cat.
Tested on my VPS, it depends.
Once deploy's done with tomcat 8.5.57 manager app, clicking on its list of
sites, it works, since the browser is connecting to the ip:port/algorismes.
Setting directly "algorismes.cat" in the browser url, the error is found.
Just click to go to the level2.jsp.
Lervel2.jsp is a blank page that just declares ann object of class Student
to show the problem.
Anybody can explain to me what am i doing wrong?
Thanks you all!
Carles

Perhaps may be because I am too old, but I am not used to this reference
managers. I don't use maven neither gradle,... I work in an old fashioned
way!

I like to use database access on my own. Is this a problem? Sorry for my
ignorance, but I only change the way I work when I understand why I do it.

I would thank you for unwrapping this. I can't imagine which use cases are

Thanks for your words. It's been very useful. This is certainly an
illustrative mail!

There are a lot of issues with your project that have nothing to do with
Tomcat. I'm going to assume that most of your project problems exist
because of how aggressively you stripped down your project.
As a start, you'll need to set up your project correctly in NetBeans.
Instead of just copying the commons-fileupload-1.3.jar and
commons-io-2.2.jar into WEB-INF/lib, you'll need to add them to your
project.
Right-mouse on the project, then:
Properties->Libraries
Click on the Add Jar / Folder button
Browse to your jar files and add them. Then when NetBeans builds the
project, they will be included in the war file.
I've checked, and all of the files are in the proper place in the built
war file.
Now some project notes:
1. Start with using NetBeans 12 - netbeans.apache.org
2. Seriously consider using a Maven-based project instead of an
Ant-based project
This will make dependency management much easier.
3. Seriously consider using the NetBeans built-in CDNJS manager for
JavaScript libraries
This will make JavaScript dependency management much easier.
4. Do not use generic top-level package names. Consider starting
everything with org.franquesa.
5. Do not manage database access on your own. Use JNDI and Tomcat's pooling.
See: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-8.5-doc/jndi-resources-howto.html
See Christopher Schultz's excellent document on how to properly handle
pooled JDBC connections:
https://blog.christopherschultz.net/2009/03/16/properly-handling-pooled-jdbc-connections/
Yes, there are reasons to manage your own database pooling, but there
are not that many use cases for it.
PS: I fixed some obvious typos in your posted project, built it, and ran
it on Tomcat 9.0.37 and JDK 11 on a local internal system (not
localhost). I was able to successfully click on the first page and
navigate to the second page (/appname/folder/level2.jsp).

The ZIP file does not contain a build web application. Can you publish
your WAR file instead of mixed source/resources?
It's pretty important how you build the WAR, which is why I'm asking
for it.
